Goodreads Synopsis:

It’s just an everyday apocalypse.

Three years ago the aliens invaded Tokyo. Nothing was ever the same again.

But after a while, even impending doom starts to feel ordinary.

The defense business is booming in Japan, and the amazing Hyujin weapons are finally getting their chance to shine. But civilians are fed up with the inconvenience of being collateral damage, and their protest signs are starting to get really pointed! Meanwhile, Kadode has to face up to the realities of living in an apocalypse and not taking her college entrance exams seriously. At least high school is finally over!

Review:

While the protests and debates continue, and there's an attack that kills a main character, their lives still have to continue on? Everything is happening in the background, and yet is very much apparent. I must admit it's quite well-done. I wouldn't call this horror, in any way really, but this plot is subtly unsettling.

The girls are graduating, and get to move on in their lives. Start something new.

The brother who's been stalking/cyber-bullying? This popular girl, finally gets to meet her, and instead of being mean or tricking her, he actually ends up making her feel better. It's an odd change. We also get to see Ai go on a date with a boy who likes her. I kind of understand why she decides the way she does, but it's also really sad to me. I think it would have been nice if she'd let him in, instead.

This is a really odd series. I definitely wouldn't have picked it up on my own, and I'm not sure if I'm enjoying it or not.
